Are Regional Center Pilot Program cases limited to 3,000 visa numbers each year?

No. This is not a limitation placed on visa number usage by the Regional Center Pilot Program which may exceed 3,000 visa numbers. But rather, this legal requirement was established to ensure that the Regional Center Pilot Program have visa numbers available to it. Given USCIS reports that more than 90% of immigrant investors rely on the Regional Center Pilot Program, there is no concern that direct EB-5 applications will consume the available visa numbers.
